I felt very happy,because we went to the Shanghai Waterworks Museum.First,we went to a grey building. It was built more than fifty years ago and it has a long history. We entered this building and saw a large fish bowl in the wall. However, there were only five plastic fishes in it. It means that we will no longer see real fishes if we waste water.After that,we went upstairs. There we saw a big and blue poster. At the top of the poster there was a water tap. It told us we must save water.We can't live without water just like animals can't live without air.On the left side was the NO.3121 water supply station Two women were washing the clothes.In the water there was sands and stones.

My photos took in Shanghai musuem.D. We must save water.These days, we are very sad to hear the news “severe drought in southwest China”. When we learn that a villager loses his life on his way to look for water for other villagers, when we hear that an old lady drinks dirty water to say alive, when we see cracks at the bottom of dry lakes, when we see Asia’s biggest waterfall, Huangguoshu get narrower, when we know some villagers in Yunnan are travelling for three hours to try to find water in valleys, our hearts are filled with sorrow.We Chinese must take action and unite once again. The army has been sent to help fight againest the water shortages. And lots of people raise money to help the people there. Luckily there has been rain these days. Though a day or a week of rainfall is not enough to end the drought, at least there is water coming to the dried-up land, which can help a lot.The severe drought is not a good thing, but through it, we can learn how important the environment is to this world. We should stop polluting the air right away. Besides, we should take measures to protect the forests and plant as many trees as possible.

And with all those cars for every person. And with all those cars on the road, people have to spend plenty of time stuck in the traffic.Now imagine every Sunday, major roads in city areas were closed off to cars, and people were invited to spend time wandering through their neiborhoods by bike. It may sound like impossiblie in such a car-heavy city. But a small group of activists called cicLAvia wants to make this car-free day become reality.“Air pollution is awful and children are too heavy now,” siad cicLAvia member Jonathan Parfrey. “But building new parksfor people to exercise can be much too expensive. We want to create public space that was already have—our roads.”The idea isn’t new. It was born in the Colombian city of Bogota 30 years ago. Bogota is a city with heavy traffic and air pollution. But every Sunday in Bogota major streets are shut down to cars. So cicLAvia wants to follow that success in Los Angeles.Although it may seem like a great challenge in such a city, the members of cicLAvia are confident. They are taking steps to make it happen, including a recent meeting with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. And a charity group has agreed to provide $20,000 to support this event. And the event may happen in 2010.( )1. What does “so park poor and so car rich” mean?A. It means that there are more parks and fewer cars in Los Angeles.B. It meas that Los Angeles is rich.C.

This strange bird has a bald head, a bright pink body, red legs, and an unusual bill that is shaped like a spoon at the end. It lives along the coasts of Texas, Florida, Mexico, and South America. It finds food by walking through s hallo w water and swinging its huge bill through the water. It uses its bill to catch and scoop up shrimp and small fish. As it eats, the spoonbill makes a strange noise. Some people say it sounds like a grunt or a groan.Spoonbills are large birds. They are about 30 inches tall. When they spread their wings, they are a light pink color. They become a bright rosy-pink color when they are adults.Spoonbills build their nests in large groups with other birds that live along the coast. Scientists call these groups mixed colonies. Spoonbills use sticks to build next on tree branches or on the ground. Female spoonbills build the nests. Males help by collecting sticks. Females lay two or three large eggs. Both parents take care of the eggs. The chicks hatch in about 23 days.Today there are large numbers of spoonbills in both Texas and Florida. One hundred years ago, however, there were very few spoonbills. They were almost extinct because of their beautiful wing feathers. People used the beautiful feathers to make womean’s hats and fans.When the hunting of these birds was stopped, the number of spoonbills and other coastal birds began to increase. But spoonbills are still in danger today. As people build more house, stores, and roads along the coast, they destroy the wet places where spoonbills like to live. ( )1.

第16课时九年级(全) Units 1~2一、阅读理解AYou Can Make a Windsock(风筒)!Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind?Well, you can make one of your own!This is a fun project that you can do with things you may have. You just need to follow a few easy steps.You will need:·one piece of heavy colored paper·five ribbons·strong tape·a string·a pencilWhat to do:Step 1:Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.Step 2:Make the paper into the shape of a tube. Hold one of the shorter edges(边缘) over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle.Step 3:Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie the ends of the string together.Step 4:Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work?The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. You can also hang it outside and watch it dance around on its own!1.You draw pictures on the paper to make the windsock .A.funB.heavyC.strongD.special2.Which of these things do you need for Step 2?A.Tape.B.Ribbons.C.A pencil.D.A string.3.What do you do after you put ribbons through the holes in the tube?A.Make holes in the tube.B.Tape the tube together.C.Tie knots in the ribbons.D.Put a string through the hole.4.What is probably the most important to make a windsock work?A.Its shape.B.Its size.C.The color of the paper.D.The number of the holes.5.What is the main purpose of this article?A.To tell an interesting story.B.To explain how to do something.C.To teach an important lesson.D.To show what a windsock is like.B(2019河南郑州一模)There are about 6,000 languages spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out.This has many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the languages are gone. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns. What’s more, to get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning more popular languages like English, French and Chinese rather than their own languages.Once a language dies, it seldom comes back to life. Governments across the world are taking action to prevent this. In New Zealand, the government has said it wants more than 20 percent of the country’s popula tion to be able to speak Maori by 2040. The country plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025. China is also trying to protect its languages. In 2015, the government started a project to record about 130 languages spoken in China. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority language majors(少数民族语言专业)for their students.Some languages are in danger. It is just a fact. However, all languages are human heritage. When we lose a language, we lose the culture of the people who speak it. Language itself is often the only way to show a certain community’s history and culture, as well as its knowledge of things like math and geography.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案1Do you know some of English expressions about clothes? Let me explain some to you.People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. They might also fly by the seat of their pants. They use their natural sense to do something instead of their learned knowledge. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your bet.

He said that you couldn’t be happy until you gave up your “racket”. My racket was lying. I lied about a lot of things to make myself happy. I always succeeded in lying to others. I felt happy when people told me I was such a convincing liar. However, I felt sad when I heard a girl say that she hated liars that day.On Saturday, many teenagers started to change. One of my new friends returned the toy bear he had stolen the day before to its owner. He told me that he had never felt so relaxedbefore, and he suggested that I try giving up my “racket”.One Friday morning my parents drove me to a three-day self-help seminar for teens called the Landmark Forum. When we arrived, my parents left me there.When I got home from the Landmark Forum, I tried to stop lying and started to take part in ball games and other activities at school. Now I don’t hate life any longer. I love it! I never knew I could be so happy. That seminar actually changed my life.There was once a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to say what something was too quickly. So he sent them each to go and look at a pear tree that was quite far away.The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to tell him what they had seen.The first son said that the tree was quite ugly. The second son said that it was covered with green flowers. The third son said that it was covered with flowers and looked beautiful. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said that there were many fruits on it.The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season. He told them that they cannot say what a tree or a person was like by only one season. “If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and the fruits of your fall.”Hold on through the difficult days and better times are sure to come sooner or later.

In fact, students can take much more advantages than disadvantages when they wear uniforms.The advantages of wearing uniforms:Firstly, school uniforms help to eliminate the different backgrounds among students. When everyone wears the same clothes in a class, the difference between rich and poor students in appearance will no longer be seen.Secondly, wearing uniforms means the school is safer. Uniforms can help to distinguish the bad people who want to break the peace of education environment and steal the school equipment.Thirdly, the students do not need to waste their time in thinking about what to wear before going to school. They will no longer wonder how to wear in the right fashion trend. The parents also save the money from buying the fashionable clothes for their children because they wear uniforms on most weekdays.Last but not least, uniforms help the student to feel more about their school. Wearing uniforms is one way students show the pride and love for their school.( )1. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. Wearing school uniforms has both advantages and disadvantages.B.

At first we made a reservation for a journey to Luxor, Egypt, for the autumn of 1997. The trip was cancelled because of a terrorist attack, which took place in Luzor, so we need to change our plans. We wanted sun, ancient buildings and all for less than $500 a week. We did not have a lot of choices, and so we decided to travel to Tunisia. At last we felt it was not at all a bad decision.When we left for Tunisia we did not have any “deep” understanding of the country, its history or its culture, but once we got there we found it very interesting. We saw ruins from the Roman Empire and the ruined towns. With a little time, these places offer a lot to see. Best of all, most of the place allow visitors to walk around the ruins.

It was a beautiful morning, so he went to the window and looked out. He was surprised to see a neatly dressed, middle-aged professor, who worked in the university just up the road from Mr Jones’s house, coming from the directionof the town. He had grey hair, wore a hat and thick glasses, and was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a bag. Mr Jones thought that he must have arrived by the night train and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi.Mr Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a long rope to one of its branches so that they could swing on it.Mr Jones was surprised to see the professor stop when he saw the rope, and look carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was nobody, he stepped into the garden, put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat neatly on the grass and took hold of the rope. He pulled it hard to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the air on the end of the rope, his grey hair blowing all around his face.At last the professor stopped, straightened his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, picked up his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and continued on his way to the university, looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be( )1.

Let me tell you about it.The word jeans comes from a kind of material that was made in Europe. The material, called jean, was named after sailors from Genoa in Italy, because they wore clothes made from it. In the 18th century jean cloth was made completely from cotton and workers at that time loved wearing itbecause the material was very strong and it did not wear out easily. In the 1960s, many university and college students wore jeans. Designers made different styles of jeans to make the 1960s’ fashion: embroidered jeans, painted jeans and so on. In the 1970s more and more people started wearing jeans because they became cheaper. In the 1980s jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. Sales of jeans went up and up. But in the 1990s the worldwide economic situation got worse, and the sale of jeans stopped growing. However, jeans have never been out of fashion, and today young generation is still fond of wearing them.( )1. A. Asia B. America. C. Africa. D. Europe.( )2. A. sold B. made C. wore D. designed( )3.

For example, there are about 350 kinds of sharks that live in oceans around the world. All of the sharks are carnivores, but most of them don’t eat people. Some sharks are very small—the smallest shark is about 6 inches long—about as long as your hand. But some sharks are very large. The largest kinds of sharks may be 60 feet long and weigh 15 tons.Unlike many other kinds of fish, sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made of a kind of white flexible material. Sharks do not have ears. However, they “hear” sound and move ments in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks feel these vibrations and they help the sharks find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food in the evening, or in the middle of the night.Nowadays, scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists want to find why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer too. ( )1. A. ponds B. cities C. lakes D. oceans( )2. A. and B. so C. but D. or( )3. A. tall B. long C. far D. wide( )4.

One evening I went to a little market. There was a small boy selling T-shirts in the market. He c ouldn’t have been more than 6 or 7 years old,but he was a good little salesman. 1 And they each bought a T-shirt. Then there was a Japanese visitor in front of me, and the little boy began to talk in Japanese. Although he didn’t speak Japanese very well, he was able to say a few words enough to get another sale. 2“Hello, sir, how are you? Do you like T-shirts?” 3 He was flexible(灵活的);he could jump from one language to another to meet the needs of customers from different countries. And even if he only knew a few words, he was so flexible that he could use his body language to make customers understand the rest of the meaning!4 He made mistakes in his communication, but he didn’t lose anything by making some mistakes. Actually, it was a good chance to improve his language skills. He was in a good state. 5It was work but he enjoyed it—he was relaxed and focused.根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案6A coin collection usually starts from unexpected beginnings. For example, you may have coins in your purse from a trip to another country or you may find old coins in an old shop. You can have your collections about the country, year or subject. If your friends travel to many other countries, you would find it easy to collect coins of different countries. You may also choose a foreign country that interest you, like France or India, and collect coins of that country. You’d better collect your own nation’s coins if you want to know more about collections!Some coin collectors collect faulty coins such as coins with over dates, off-center coins and so on. But there are few faulty coins. This makes them even more interesting. You can also collect by material, gold or silver.You can pick up interesting coins during the international travel, and you can also get them at local shops, markets and coin shows.It’s great to collect coins, but where are you going to store them? Many people keep their coin collections in a box, but it’s difficult to find them when you need them. I give you a piece of good advice: store them in the bookmarks.( )1.

Airports and airplanes let people travel to different countries easily, so there are more foreigners here than there used to be. Also, there are fewer farms than there used to be because now farmers can grow more food by using machines. But the biggest change has probably been how people live their lives at home. In the past, people had to wash their clothes by hand, which usually took about 1 or 2 hours from start to finish. Now, washing machines can do the same work in less than 40 minutes! Cooking and cleaning the house used to take many hours every day, too. Modern people have much more free time than people used to have. But his is not always a good thing. Many people get bored more easily than people in the past did. When they have free time, they just surf the Internet or listen to the radio.

However, if you would like to buy it on the internet, you may not know which one to choose. I will try to give you some advice.First, you have to know what to expect from an mp3 player. Do you only want to listen to music or also to play videos and watch movies? Secondly, you have to know how much money you want to spend. There are mp3 players which cost 1000Kč ( about 40 Euro) or 5000Kč (about 200 Euro) for example. Thirdly, you should find a brand or make which manufactures quality products. After that you should be able to search for an mp3 player that suits your particular purpose. It is easy. You put “mp3 player” in a search engine like Google or whichever one you use and you will find many websites. However, some links could be fake, so be careful. And my last piece of advice is definitely read other people's comments. Those comments are written by people who have already bought and used the product, so they can help you much more than this article.Finally, I would like to say that there are a lot of different ways of getting the mp3 that you want. How much you pay and how much enjoyment you get from your mp3 player will depend on you which way you decide to look for one, so be smart and hunt well.( )1.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A.

People who want to act in plays come from all over the world hoping to get a job as an actor. They want to become rich and famous on Broadway.But one group of actors in a new Broadway play is happy to perform for just a snack. These actors are dogs. They perform in a musical show called Chitty Bang Bang. The dogs do a great job in the play, thanks to their trainer William Berioni.Berioni did not plan to become an animal trainer. In college he studied acting and learned how to put on plays. But Berioni was also interested in animals. He often brought homeless animals to his house.Berioni combined his love for plays with his love for animals. He began training a dog to be in a Broadway play. He found just the right dog for the play at an animal shelter. This is a place that takes care of homeless animals. The dog became famous as Sandy in the play Annie. The dog performed onstage for seven years. This is the longest any animal has been in a Broadway play.Berioni hopes the dogs will be in the play for a long time. When the play finally ends, the dogs will stay on a farm with Berioni and his family. The dogs will have plenty to keep them busy. Berioni already has many other animals he takes care of on his farm.Aaron Conley, an 11-year-old boy, is a child actor. He has performed many kinds of roles. He has taken many years of acting, dancing, and singing lessons. If chosen for a part, the children must work hard.In fact, going to school became difficult when Aaron began receiving acting jobs in New York City. Many child actors were studying in private schools that allow them to have flexible time tables. These schools were expensive, so Aaron’s mother let him study in a public school. But the time table there was very difficult to follow since Aaron sometimes needed to leave in the middle of the school day for play practices. Finally his mother decided to teach Aaron at home.Children actors and their families make many sacrifices. One of the biggest sacrifices that Aaron’s family has made was moving from Mississippi to New York City. Aaron needed to live close to his acting jobs. This meant leaving behind family and friends. Also, because of his busy acting time table, Aaron isn’t always able to take part in activities, which makes it difficult to make friends in a new place.Night after night, show after show, Aaron Conley understands the difficulty of his job, but heloves what he does.( )1.

She walked as if each step was painful.After walking around the store for a moment, she stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She picked up one, and looked at the label strangely. I went over to her and asked her if she needed any help.“Are you looking for corn, madam?”“I’m hungry. I need some food,” she answered. “Any kind.”“Well, the corn is ninety-five cents,” I said in my most helpful voice.“I can’t pay,” she said.For a second, I want to say, “Take the corn.” But the employee rules flooded into my mind. I couldn’t do that. “I’m sorry; madam, but I can’t give you anything for free.”The old woman’s face turned red. She put the corn back, and went out sadly.Moments after she left, I rushed out the door with the corn, but I couldn’t see her. For the rest of that day, the image of the poor woman troubled me.

Others compete. Rock climbing can be dangerous. But there are many ways to keep a climber’s safety. Climbing takes strength, control and good balance. Climbers have to pull themselves straight up. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are four kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes as they climb. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling.There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls have places for the climber's hands and feet. Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice. And then there is bouldering—climbing rocks between three and seven meters high. It is a quick climbing. Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk. All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.Most rocks have holes. Climbers use these for footholds and handholds. Climbers use their legs to climb. Arms and hands are for position and balance. Climbers often need to lock their bodies to the rock with one small finger hold.( )1.

Having a history of about 200 years，it is developed from absorbing(吸收) many other dramatic forms，mostly from the local drama “Huiban”，which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic(戏剧的) art integrating music，performance，literature，aria，and face painting.Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing，dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer，for example，neither dances nor speaks on stage；there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play；in a dance drama，the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama，including Beijing Opera，is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts，singing，dancing and acrobatics.In addition to its presence in China，Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang，one of the most famous performers(表演者) of all time，was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.“You will be puzzled(困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time；but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.Beijing Opera is China's national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions.

He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move upand down.

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案Betty Jameson was an important woman in the world of sports. In 1950, she and twelve other women set up the Ladies Professional Golf Association. They made rules of the group.Jameson was born in 1919 in Norman. Oklahoma. She grew up In Dallas, Texas. She began playing golf at a very young age. She was very good at the sport and won many competitions. In 1932, Jameson won the Texas competition. Two years later, she won the Southern Championship.Jameson began playing professional golf in 1945. She won many prizes. She finished her career in the Ladies Professional Golf Association with thirteen big victories.That may not seem like many wins compared to women’s golf today. However, during that time golf was thought a men’s spor t. Women were not treated the same as men in sports. The LPGA fought to change that. The organization succeeded in making women’s golf famous as a professional sport.Jameson was accepted into the Hall Fame of Women’s Golf in 1951. But in her late years, she was forced to live a simple life because of little money. Jameson died in 2009 when she was"If mom finds out that I'm going to the beach, I'll be in big trouble."

After 1981, he worked in a law firm for nearly ten years.Although he was working 60–70 hours a week, he got up at 5 a.m. every day to write his first book, A Time to Kill. It took him three years to write this book, which was finished in 1987. His next novel, The Firm, published in 1991, was his first major success.

The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby runs two-hour detention sessions after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical music. He also makes them copy his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos. Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils having a bad effect on lessons for other students who want to study.Brian Walker believes the detention reminds students that education is something to value. He thinks students actually learn from being kept behind after school: "Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don't normally have and…don't want to have again, so it's both educational and acts as a deterrent." Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behaviour. In 2004, it reduced crime on London’s subway by 25 per cent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop misbehaving. However, one West Park student called Kieran said: “An hour of Mr. Walker's music is a real killer.”1. Mozart was a bad student at school and was punished a lot. T / F2. A teacher forced students to write poetry and listen to classical music. T / F3. Music on London’s subway system cut crime by a quarter in 2004.

This was my first time to go abroad, so it really made me excited.There were quite a lot of interesting places in England such as Oxford. When we walked around this city, we saw quite a lot of ancient buildings on the two sides of the streets. One of the most famous tourist sights in Oxford is Christ Church. It is one of Oxford University’s 39 colleges.Another place I visited was a place called Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a small town. Maybe you haven’t heard about it, but I’m sure you have heard about William Shakespeare. William Shakespere was born there and he spent his early years there. It was a very old and traditional house. Its sitting room, hallway（走廊）, bedrooms, and kitchen were in 16th-century style. I also went to see the Shakespeare Exhibition. It told us Shakespeare’s life in both Stratford and London in picture s. It included a first edition of Shakespeare’s collected plays and a model of London’s Globe Theatre.I really enjoyed this nice trip to England. From this trip I learnt a lot.

There are three main types of educational institutions: primary school, secondary school and universities.State schools are free, and attendance is compulsory. More school begains at nine o’clock and lasts until five past four. School opens five days a week.On Saturday and Sundays, there are no lessons. There are holidays at Christmas. Easter and in summer. In London as in all cities there are two grades of states schools for those who will go to work at fifteen: primary schools for boys and girls between the ages of five and eleven, and secondary schools for children from eleven to fifteen.The lessons are reading, writing, the English language, English literature, English history, geography, science, nature study, drawing, painting, singing, woodwork and physical training..Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat asks which they have already done at school.Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework.A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.Officials from Museums of 16 countries held a meeting in Cairo in April, 2010. They tried to get back their treasures in history.

第7课时八年级(上) Units 3~4一、阅读理解ALiving placesThe home of the elephant is in the deep forest. It is the largest of all land animals, and is found both in Asia and Africa. One of the main places in Asia where the elephant lives is the island of Ceylon. The huge forests on the island become the home of thousands of elephants. The trees grow thick and tall. They make many parts almost dark, while bright sunlight is above and around them.Living habitsThe elephant likes the deep part and the coolest places of the forest. There he will stand swinging his ears, to drive away the flies; or he will pull down a branch (树枝) from a tree to fan himself. He likes bathing, and to be near a lake or running water. There he takes in the water with his trunk, and spreads it all over his body.FoodThe elephant enjoys the fruits in the forest, and also the leaves of the trees. There is plenty of food for him in the forests, though he is not always happy with what he finds there.Way of movementWhen a group of elephants moves about in the forest, the oldest goes first. The young elephants and their mothers are in the middle, where they are safest. Then all move along with a great noise, the branches of the trees bending and breaking before them. Though the elephant is usually harmless, no one dares to attack (袭击) a group of them moving through the forest.How people treat themIn Asia the elephant is trained to work.

You must think it works at a super speed and ca n do everything? Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling.First your eyes check out what’s going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react(反应), and then your muscles(肌肉) go into action. That is justfrom your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ(器官). There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells(细胞) in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developin g andlearning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment(建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ inthe body like the heart that never stops during human lives.So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.6.In Paragraph 1, the writer wants to tell us .A.eyes and muscles react quicklyB.the brain controls everything in your bodyC.the computer is the best thing in the worldD.the brain is more powerful than any computer7.In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “That” refers to(指的是) .A.the body weightB.2% of the body weightC.all energy in the bodyD.around 20% of the energy in the body8.Which is RIGHT according to the passage?A.The brain doesn’t work during sleeping.B.The brain is the only organ that never stops.C.The brain keeps growing during human lives.D.The brain keeps on developing during human lives.9.Which word can best describe the brain according to the passage?A.Magic.B.Quick.C.Light.D.Developing.10.In which magazine can the passage be found most probably?A.Business WeeklyB.MedicineC.ScienceD.Sports二、任务型阅读(2019河南平顶山二模)Peng Jiachen is a boy from Pingdingshan. He is the only child of his family. He is happy and confident, but he feels lonely sometimes. “It’s not fun, especially when I travel with my parents. 1 ” he said.It is time for Peng to realize his dream. China has ended its one-child policy and every couple can have two children now. 2A sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to an expert. “Siblings can give children something that parents can’t give,” said the expert. 3 They can also talk about various things and share secrets with each other.But there are disadvantages, too. You need to share things with your sibling, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. 4 Children with siblings need to learn to compromise(妥协) and control their feelings.Even the birth order can make a difference. According to recent research, the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different personalities in children. 5 So firstborns are often responsible and thirsty for success. When the couple have a second child, they are more relaxed. So the later-born children are usually funny and creative.根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

But she was moving from a house with a little garden so her son would have space to play. The distance was probably too short to call a removal company（搬家公司）, but it was long enough to make carrying all the stuff a real pain.But we didn't have to. A neighbor offered the use of her truck. She drove it up to my daughter's front door, and then went home while we loaded it up. Then she came out, drove it to the new house and walked back home for a cup of tea while we unloaded. Then she did it again and again.We decided to thank her, but she didn’t want anything from us. My daughter got her some flowers later as a “thank you”.Before I left, I stopped by the woman's house, just to thank her for being such a help to my daughter, as she really didn’t have to help. It's not like they were such close friends or anything “It’s what neighbors should do,” she said.“It’s what neighbors used to do,” I said.“Well, let’s bring it back then,” she smiled. I thought she was right. Neighbors often helped each other in the past, but now we don’t do that so often as we did before.“Let’s bring it back,” I said sincerely in my heart.It’s good to have neighbors like her.( )1.

My son was drawing little circle when he was just one old, and my grandma didn’t begin her painting career until she was in her seventies! The complexity of the art work will change according to the age of the artist, of course, but a face composed of a circle and two big eyes by a child can be as much of an achievement as a fine oil painting by an adult.Drawing may not come naturally, but it’s a skill that can be learned.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases expand and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not streak across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after night, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.( )1. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.( )2. According to the passage, what does a comet travel around?A. The sun.B. The moon.C. Other comets.D. other planets( )3. Why do comets look as if they are motionless when we see them?A. They are very small.B. They are very far away.C. They move very slowly.D. They move only at night.( )4. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.( )5. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To convince readers to look for comets.Long ago all of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the s1 . And others thought it was a big ball of cheese! Then telescope was made. And men s 2 that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.On July 20th, 1969, that dream came t 3 . Two American men landed on the moon. T 4 names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin.

Those were the fist mark a living thing had ever made on the moon.The two men walked on the moon f 6 hours. They picked rocks to bring back to e 7 for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climb b 8 into their moon landing craft. Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that w 9 for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. B 10 them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up.

Sports can seem difficult because of the rules and the special equipment.People spend many years learning how to play their favourite sports, so don’t feel bad if you don’t know the difference between a corner kick and a goal kick in football. If you want to learn more about a sport, you might ask your mum or dad about camps or programs that introduce kids to know how to play.Gym classes at school also can be a way to try new sports with lots of kids. Another way to learn about a sport is to watch education videos or DVDs, or check out library books.

In the past, we often got together at our home every Sunday. My grandparents, parents, aunt, uncle and my cousin, Jane, would have a wonderful time playing games, swimming, relaxing and sharing stories.On one sunny summer Sunday when I was 5, my cousin Jane thought it would be funny to push me into the swimming pool we had in the backyard. I couldn’t believe Jane had done this to me, so I decided to put a big pout on my lips until I found some sympathy. Wet and unhappy, I sat next to my grandpa on a nearby picnic bench. When he asked me what was wrong, I told him what Jane had done.“Well, just push her back!” he said.After hearing my grandpa’s suggestion, I watched Jane’s every move until she was in jus t the right position beside the pool. I then pushed her into the pool. She was good at swimming and didn’t get hurt.Soon after that year, Grandpa moved from Ohio to Florida, so I didn’t get to see him much before he died when I was 11.

I asked John why the pig had them. He said, “One day, while I was checking the tire of my tractor, the tractor suddenly started to move slowly and then I was trapped under the wheel. Just then Pinky, the pig, saw it. It ran back to the house, fastened its teeth on my wife’s dress and pulled her out. Then my wife helped me get out of the wheel.”“That’s amazing, but that still can’t explain why Pinky has the artificial legs,” I said.“Well, let me tell you another accident. Once my son hit his head on a stone while swimming in a lake. Pinky jumped into the water, swam to him and pulled him up onto the blank,”John said.“Most pigs can’t swim, but Pinky can!” I said with surprise. “Pinky is actually a special pig, but I really want to know why it has three artificial legs,” I said.“Well,” said John, “Pinky is so good that we can’t eat it up at one time,( )1.

That’s why it’s important to follow these safety rules all the time.1The adult who’s taking care of you needs to know where you are at all times. That means telling your mom or dad, grandmother, or whoever is keeping an eye on you where you are and when you’ll come home.2It’s more fun and safer to do things with friends. Take along a friend when you walk to school, bike around the park, or go to the store. Travelling with a friend whenever you can is agood idea, and travelling with several kids is even better.3What are safe spots? Safe spots are places where you can stop if you need help, like the house of kids you know, your parents’friends’houses, stores, restaurants, police stations, libraries, and fire departments. When you’re walking or riding your bike, remember the safe sports along your route. You’ll know where they are when you need help.4Be sure to keep away from places where no one is around, like the small, dark streets.5It’s nice to help people. But remember: Strangers should ask adults, not kids for help. If a stranger asks you for help—such as giving directions, finding lost money—don’t help. Don’t even give an answer. You should walk the other way at once. If you’re not near a safe spot, try any store or restaurant. If you feel you’re in danger, call for help.A lot of people like to play their records as loudly as possible at home. The result is that the other members of the family and the neighbors often complain since they don't like the music. One answer to this problem is to wear headphones, but headphones are usually uncomfortable.An armchair has just been made by a British engineer, Stepen Court. It has a record-player system. The armchair looks like an ordinary armchair with a high back. However, each of the two sides of the chair has three loudspeakers inside to make middle and high sounds. Low sounds are made by a pair of loudspeakers in a hollow space under the seat. Anyone who sits in the chair hears sounds coming from all round his / her head. Because we cannot tell where low sounds come, it doesn't matter that they come from underneath or behind. It is the higher sounds coming from the side of the chair that create a stereo effect. These sounds travel only a few inches to reach the listener's ears. Consequently, it takes only a little power to make the music sound very loud. Only a small amount of sound leaks out from behind the chair into the room to disturb others. Most of the sound is absorbed by the listener.( )1. A. class B. family C. group D. team( )2.

Others are machines or something to make our lives more comfortable.The ideas of these inventions may come from everyday life. Take the popular game, Monopoly, for example. In 1930, the American economy fell down. Millions of people lost their work. Among them was Charles Darrow. They had no money to go on vacation. Darrow said to his wife, "If I were rich, I'd take you to the best hotel in Atlantic City and I would buy the hotels, all the houses and streets and the railroad for you." Then an idea grew in his mind. He cut houses and hotels into wood. He made cards with names of places on them. He used buttons for tokens, a pair of dice and lots of play money. The game was called Monopoly.Another example was the cat’s-eye reflector. Percy Shaw got his idea while driving along the side of a hill. That day, he ran into thick fog（雾）. He couldn't see the road clearly. At that very moment, the car lights had been reflected in the eyes of a cat and he could see where the side of the road was. He began to think of inventing reflectors that shone like cats' eyes and setting them in the middle of the road. His invention has contributed a lot to traffic safety.( )1.

The idea was especially interesting to two French brothers, Jacques and Joseph Montgolfier. In the late 1700s, they made experimenting with hot-air balloons.Their first experiment was to fill small paper bags with smoke. They found that the bags would rise in the air. At first, the two brothers believed that the smoke made the bags rise. But later, they realized it was the hot air, rather the smoke that caused the bags to rise.The Montgolfier brothers continued to experiment. In 1783, they put a hot-air balloon in the air for eight minutes. The balloon carried a cock, a sheep, and a duck! They came back to earth safely after history’s first real balloon f light. Later that year, they made a bigger balloon and the two people rose over 300 feet into the air. Their flight lasted 25 minutes.By 1784, ballooning had become very popular in France. People traveled for miles to see balloons take off and come down again. One year later, two men flew from France across the English Channel to England. It took two hours.Today, hot-air balloons are very popular. To fly a balloon, the pilot burns wood or gas to make hot air, which makes the balloon rise. The balloon rises into the air as more hot air is produced. To lower the balloon, hot air is released.( )1.

This passage mainly tells us ____A. how balloons were inventedB. how balloons carried animalsC. when balloons flew across English channelD. when balloons carried peopleFor most of us, the holidays are a great time to gather family, but your holiday experiences can be quickly forgotten with time because of the limitations of memory. You might therefore want to think of ways of recording those experiences. One very useful way of recording those experiences is by keeping a holiday journal.An important advantage of keeping a holiday journal is that it allows you to record changes that have happened to you and your family members. As you go through your journal, you’ll see how everybody has grown, the directions they have taken in life, friends who might have joined your family on the holidays and so on. These changes can be recorded by photographs as well.However, writing about your holiday experiences allows you to record several details about them which a photograph can not. This does not mean that photographs are not important. The best, of course, is for your journal to include both photographs and writing in order for it to be rich in detail.Another important benefit of a holiday journal is that it can give you an opportunity to appreciate your family members. Perhaps, you have made the mistake that most of us do, namely forgetting how important family members are and taking them for granted. As you you’re your holiday journal, however, you might feel like you want to reconnect with your loved ones and re-establish your relationship with them.( )1. What can be quickly forgotten with time?A. Training one’s memory to be good.B. The holiday journal you are making.C. The holiday experiences you have had.D. Having celebrations on holidays.( )2. How can one record one’s holiday experiences?A. By keeping a diary of them.B. By writing to an academic journal.C. By thinking carefully about them.D. By regularly discussing them.( )3. Why do family members become less close to each other? Because they __________.A. don’t write to or call each other oftenB. immigrate to different countriesC. forget to be thankful for each otherD. have poorly managed schedules( )4. Which advantage of a holiday journal is NOT mentioned by the author?A. It helps us to understand better how we’ve developed over time.B. It gives us a chance to be grateful to our family members.C.

Each member of the family draws a name for a gift and buys it for that person only.2 .Instead of buying a new bottle of Old Spice or Uncle Greg this year, try suggesting the whole family get together for a special event or a nice meal and give up the gifts.3.Instead of buying gifts for each other, get together with your family and agree to do a public service project together for the holidays. Donate time at the local homeless shelter or soup kitchen, volunteer at your local animal shelter, or agree to do yard work and clean the house for an elderly couple in your neighborhoold.4。

You might have had trouble getting enough sleep. We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health. But it has been found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends, The Guardian reported.According to researchers from the University of California, people who don’t get enough sleep are less willing to socialize(社交)with others. They are simply too tired to go out.The researchers did a small study. They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night’s sleep—as well as tested them again after a sleepless night. The participants watched videos of people with expressions walking toward them. When the person on the video got too “close” to them, they pushed a button to stop the video, which recorded how close they allowed the person to get.The results showed that the participants kept the person at a further distance if they hadn’t gotten enough sleep. They might think the person intruded on their personal space. But when the participants got a good night’s sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.According to a lead researcher Matthew Walker, the less sleep you get, the less you want to socialize with others. In turn, other people may think you look strange and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less. It becomes a vicious cycle(恶性循环).So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person, sleeping well might help.“One night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing and confident,” Walker told the Daily Mail.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

2020年人教版新目标英语中考阅读理解、完形填空试题及答案9Many schools now have school counselors. A school counselor is a person who has been trained to help students with their problems. The counselor may work with one kid at a time. He or she may have a special room in the school where you can go at any time.You do not need your teacher’s permission to see a counselor. But you can ask your teacher how to make an appointment to see a counselor or go and knock on the counselor’s door.If you want to see a counselor by yourself because it is something you want to keep private, then no one except you and the counselor need to know. If you are not too sure about what the problem is, then talking to the counselor will help you to sort things out in your mind.A student from No. 1 Middle School said, “our school counselor helped me improve my grades. I do better in my subjects than before.” Another student said, “Our counselor helped me when my mom was very sick.

Things will be better in the morning.” I thought this advice was crazy. How could sleep make my problem go away?I entered an excellent college, and I studied hard; but my mother died the year before I graduated. During that time, I was very upset and got ill. Then I was abandoned by many of the people who I thought were my friends.In the end, I found a job at a children’s library I loved. Although I threw myself into my job 150 percent, my boss didn’t like me. I developed creative library programs that proved popular with schools. But the harder I worked and the more credit I brought to the library for the programs, the angrier my boss became.I just couldn’t take the pressure anymore. I repeated my mother’s words and fell asleep feeling very upset.However, I was not overwhelmed by the pressure. I felt much better the next morning. Finally, I made a decision and fired my boss, but I continued to work with children. My popular programs were accepted by many other libraries and schools, and I also got a job as a teacher.Without the pressure of my former job, story ideas came to me from every direction and Ibegan writing picture books. I sold my stories to children’s magazines and I now have two books to be published.Actually sleep doesn’t make problems disappear, but helps me calm down.

I’m talking about my Guilt Trip.I got tickets to fly to the City of Regret on “WISHIHAD” flight. As I checked into the hotel, I heard that people in the city would hold the year’s most important party, the Pity Party. I wasn’t going to miss it.Many leading families in the city would be there. First, there would be the Done family, you know, Should Have, Would Have and Could Have. Then would come the I Had family. The biggest family would be the Yesterday family. There were far too many family members to count, but each one would have a very sad story to share.As usual, I became very sad after hearing their stories. But as all of the stories of failures were brought back from the past, it occurred to me that all of the trip and the Pity Party could be rescinded by me! I started to truly realize that I did not have to be there. I didn’t have to be sad. One thing kept going through my mind, “I can’t change yesterday, but I do have the ability to make today a wonderful day. I can be happy and encouraged.”Realizing this, I left the City of Regret immediately. I would take trip to a place called Starting Again.( )1. How was the writer’s Guilt Trip?A. Exciting.B.

One or two are perhaps not too happy about a particular light being turned off.”At the moment there are about 100 street lights in the village and 34 of those will be turned off.

I remember watching trains pass by and wishing I was on one of them. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was 13 and reading the board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, London…But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I traveled the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middle March and Little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the Tsar with Anna Karenina.My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, truly lived, somewhere else. I lived in books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be and what I might achieve.I travel today in the way I once dream of travelling as a child—on airplanes and in trains. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, and books. The only thing I do like about travelling is the time on airplanes reading. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the best destination and the journey too. They are home.Read more: /family-portraits-dos-and-donts#ixzz1UW6BxnC5Pyramids, a large desert, and an important river are three of the great attractions in Egypt.
